As close to unique as is possible, he has little recollection of those that gave him life, save that they were much the same as he was - Storm Crow is a naturallLycanthrope.In deference to those that make his home on his island, he rarely uses his control weather to create the storms in which he revels in, except in times of defence - which is fairly rare in this remote part of the world. But he will take flight during the storms which naturally occur during the rainy season, and the sight of his roc form rising into the clouds is awe-inspiring. Those on land who have witnessed it feel justified in giving him the name "Thunderbird." But if a hurricane threatens, he will calm the winds as much as possible - Storm Crow has a soft spot for the villagers.His one rival in the area is a gargantual kraken who has dubbed himself ruler of much of the area. Peridoically he will send his minions to wreak havok upon the island, but after one enganlement that left him missing two arms, he dares not appraoch in fear of the were-roc who defends the land. Appearance & TacticsIn his natural form, Storm Crow stands almost 20ft tall, and his skin as a slight golden tinge compared to other storm giants. His hybrid body resembles that of a garganruan-sized owlbear overly-large arms, allowing him to fly, albeit poorly. He uses his hybrid form most often in combat, weilding his huge greatsword to inflict incredible damage. Storm Crow uses his roc form mainly for travel or to go hunting.For combat anywhere but underwater, Storm Crow coordinates his attacks with those of the rocs which frenquent his lair, using his empathy to direct them. And entire fleet can be reduced to spliters within minutes as the rocs and Storm Crow attack from above. If a large group of powerful creatures make their way against him, he will hit as many as he can with a chain lightning spell, and has no qualms with retreating to consider the situation.Underwater, Storm Crow takes on a more barbaric view of life, mainly because he'll be enganges with the kraken or its minions. Agains smaller foes, he lays waste to them with an easy swipe of his sword, but against the kraken itself, he tries to drive it to the sirvace to allow his own minions to attack it. Storm Crow will not fall back from these excusrions unless severely injured,</blockquote>
